Children with no parent working full-time

DEFINITIONS & SOURCES

Definitions:
Three-Year Average Percentage of Children Living in Families Where No Parent Has Full-time, Year-round Employment, Delaware.

Data Source:
Center for Applied Demography and Survey Research, University of Delaware.

Footnotes:
*Some Delaware indicators are presented as three- or five- year averages because rates based on small numbers of events in this modestly-populated state can vary dramatically from year to year. A three- or five- year average is less susceptible to distortion. In these cases, it is helpful to look at trends rather than at actual numbers, rates or percentages due to the small numbers.
